I don't really blog here or anywhere, anymore; I apologize for just posting a bunch of links.  I still come here to read and lurk, though.

I4U Google, Scientology, & Adsense

Why is Google's AdSense doing the bidding of Scientology?

Scientology Ads Take Over the Web

Google, Adsense, and Scientology: An Unholy Trinity?

Basically, webmasters have found that it's impossible to filter out these ads from their websites through AdSense or whatever.  The usual avenues of complaint, which are normally quite functional, have produced no results and no responses.  Google is silent on the matter, in spite of their corporate motto, "Do no evil.."

He [Seth Weintraub, webmaster for 9to5mac] found it impossible to change his ad rotation, and emails sent to Google and Adsense asking for clarification received no response. There were no answers from their forums either, and he noted that whereas Google and Adsense are normally prompt to answer webmasters, even smaller ones, he got no answers on this issue.
Using filters, even multi-filters, doesn't stop the ads either, whereas that's what they were designed for.

Maybe some of you TPM geniuses can help me figure out if there are higher authorities than Google's corporate headquarters where complaints can be made.  I would also be delighted if someone would offer their educated opinion of whether there could be any legal ramifications resultant if these shenanigans continue or get worse.

Thanks.

[Late Edit] I'm starting to think that the reason these ads are showing up especially at computer sites, mac sites, Wired, etc., is because the Co$ is desperate to recruit internet savvy raw meat. They're targeting ads where they think they'll get computer literate young folks to bolster their ranks and give them more weapons to fight Anonymous and other critics on the internets.  It is also likely that Co$ has curried favour with another of Google's affiliates, YouTube, to attract more hip, young eyes.

Mark Bunker, a journalist who was about to post a 3 hour documentary with a movie star who fled the church, had his YouTube account suspended by Google. He'd had previous accounts banned due to copyright violations, which is how Google justified the ban. This would be perfectly acceptable, had Google not let the CoS reregister an account after their first one was banned for putting up the personal information of several members of Anonymous. Corporations holding double-standards for lucrative clients is hardly something new, but I think we all expect a little bit better from Google.
